Upeh Guling Waterfalls, Malaysia - Padang Endau

Endau Rompin National Park is located on the Johor-Pahang border of Malaysia. It is mainly made up of lush and pristine tropical rainforest. Covering an area of about 800 square km, it is the second largest national park in the peninsula after Taman Negara National Park. With rock formations dating back about 248 million years, Endau Rompin is mostly hilly with some prominent sandstone plateau. It also happens to be the watershed of several rivers such as Endau River, Selai River, and Jasin River. Part of Endau Rompin's attraction is that the park is linked with numerous legends and myths.

I would like to share with you my experiences at Endau-Rompin in Aug 2003. Hope you will find the information useful and perhaps give your comments. Thanks.
